Product details
Overview
JANTX1N4993DUS/TR from Microsemi is a military-qualified, voidless hermetically sealed surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage of 300 V, ±5% tolerance, 2 mA maximum reverse leakage at 240 V, and 15.6 mA maximum continuous Zener current. It operates from –65 °C to +175 °C and is used in high-reliability voltage regulation for aerospace power conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N4993DUS/TR datasheet, JANTX1N4993DUS/TR pinout, JANTX1N4993DUS/TR application, or JANTX1N4993DUS/TR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal performance data, MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualification status, and direct alternative part comparisons for radiation-hardened, high-temperature analog design.
Technical Context
This device belongs to the 1N4954US–1N4996US family of glass-encapsulated Zener regulators qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/356 Class JANTX. It uses internal Category I metallurgical bonds and triple-layer passivation for enhanced reliability under thermal cycling and radiation exposure.
Its 300 V Zener voltage is stabilized across 10%–50% of IZM (15.6 mA), exhibiting ΔVZ ≤ 32 V per Note 1. The 7 °C/W junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance enables 5 W dissipation at TEC = 140 °C, with derating to zero at 175 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 300 V ±5% at 4 mA test current - defines precise regulation point for high-voltage reference and clamping. |
| Power Dissipation | 5 W @ TEC = 140 °C - supports stable operation in conduction-cooled military chassis without forced air. |
| Operating Temperature | –65 °C to +175 °C - enables deployment in engine bay, space payload, and downhole electronics. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 950 Ω at 4 mA - low impedance ensures minimal output voltage shift under load transients. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 2 μA max at 240 V - guarantees negligible standby current in high-impedance bias networks. |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJC) | 7 °C/W junction-to-end-cap - allows accurate thermal modeling for PCB copper pour sizing. |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 1.0 A @ 8.3 ms - withstands lightning-induced transients in avionics power input stages. |
Pinout & Package
Package: Hermetically sealed voidless hard glass case with tungsten slugs, "E" package (also designated D-5B), surface-mount, cathode indicated by band, end caps copper with Sn/Pb finish, weight 539 mg.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| Cathode | Regulated output node in reverse breakdown | Connected to voltage rail being stabilized; band marking identifies this terminal for assembly verification. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Voidless hermetic glass seal | Eliminates moisture ingress and internal delamination under 1000+ thermal cycles (–65 °C/+175 °C). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4993US | Commercial-grade version; same Zener voltage, power rating, and package but not MIL-qualified. | Lacks JAN/JANTX screening, radiation hardness, and extended temperature validation. | Select JANTX1N4993DUS/TR when full MIL-PRF-19500/356 compliance and TID hardness are mandatory. |
| JANTXV1N4993DUS/TR | Higher screening level: includes burn-in, life test, and tighter parametric limits per MIL-PRF-19500/356 Class JANTXV. | Required for mission-critical flight hardware where zero-defect reliability is enforced. | Choose JANTXV variant only if program specifications require JANTXV-level testing beyond JANTX baseline. |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANTX1N4993DUS/TR?
JANTX1N4993DUS/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 300 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as specified in the Microsemi SD44A datasheet. This tolerance applies at the test current of 4 mA and is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range of –65 °C to +175 °C. No suffix letter (e.g., 'C' or 'D') appears in the part number, confirming the 5% grade.
Is JANTX1N4993DUS/TR radiation hardened?
Yes, JANTX1N4993DUS/TR is inherently radiation hard per Microsemi MicroNote 050, qualified to 100 krad(Si) total ionizing dose (TID) without parameter degradation. This hardness stems from its voidless-glass hermetic construction and Category I metallurgical bond-not from post-fabrication processing-so no derating is required in LEO or terrestrial nuclear environments.
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for JANTX1N4993DUS/TR?
The maximum continuous Zener current (IZM) for JANTX1N4993DUS/TR is 15.6 mA at TEC = 140 °C, derived from its 5 W power rating and 300 V Zener voltage (IZM = PMAX/VZ). This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the SD44A datasheet and accounts for linear derating to zero at 175 °C.
Does JANTX1N4993DUS/TR have a cathode band marking?
Yes, JANTX1N4993DUS/TR uses a visible cathode band on the glass body to identify polarity, consistent with JEDEC-standard marking for Zener diodes. The band denotes the cathode terminal, which must be connected to the higher-potential node in reverse-bias regulation applications. No alphanumeric marking is present per the "MARKING: None" specification.
What package type does JANTX1N4993DUS/TR use?
JANTX1N4993DUS/TR uses the "E" package (also designated D-5B), a surface-mount hermetically sealed voidless glass case with tungsten slugs and copper end caps finished with Sn/Pb. Its dimensions and pad layout are documented in the PACKAGE DIMENSIONS section of the SD44A datasheet, supporting reflow soldering per MIL-STD-202.
